Salma Hayek pulls trigger on ‘Everly’ at Comic-Con

SAN DIEGO (AP) — For Salma Hayek, her role in “Everly” was her toughest yet.

“It might not seem like shooting those guns is physical, but it was,” Hayek told the crowd at Comic-Con on Friday. “They were heavy!”

Hayek plays a captured woman who tries to escape from an apartment building by any means necessary. The “Desperado” and “Frida” star told fans at the pop-culture convention that “Everly” shows off the determination of women. It features the 47-year-old actress taking down waves of baddies with guns, grenades and an assortment of other artillery.

“Everly” filmmaker Joe Lynch, who previously directed “Knights of Badassdom,” called the titular role a strong female character, but he also scoffed at the moniker.

“That shouldn’t even be a thing,” Lynch said. “It should just be strong characters.”
